THE CANON LOGIC

Greetings from TCLHQ (thats The Canon Logic Headquarters). We have some exciting news, hot off the press, fresh for the eyes, ears, and fingers of all you Twitterin’ fools out there.

We’re done recording our album. Yes, I know that you think I am lying. And that we’ve been saying we’re close for so long now. But it’s true: we’re finally done.

Yup, we finished tracking all instruments, vocals, and random noises last weekend, and we’re ready to celebrate. And what better way to celebrate than to play a gigantic, blowout show at a venue several of us have been hoping to play at for the better part of our lives? So here it is:

Thursday, August 13th, 2009 at sometime in the evening, we’ll be sharing the stage with our good friends Lights Resolve at the Bowery Ballroom. We’ll be playing classic TCL hits and new cuts from our upcoming album. We’d love it if you could come.

You can get tickets directly from us, right now, right here on this very website. They’re $13. We’ll mail them to you directly, or if you live close enough to one of us, we’ll deliver them personally. And we’ll throw in a TCL sticker for every ticket you purchase.

What’s that you say? You’re under 21 and can’t get into a place like the Bowery? Have no fear. The show is for persons of age 16 and older! We don’t know exactly what time we go on yet, but it will probably be around 8pm or 9pm. We will keep you posted. Get ‘yer tickets here:

Hope to see you all there!!

PS - If you want to see us sooner than that, you can also come check us out at Rebel, this Thursday, July 9th at 8pm. Should also be a very fun show.

Much thanks to The Front for having us rock their farewell soiree last night.  We had a blast.  Thanks everyone who came out for the set, hope you enjoyed it.  Thanks Marques for joining us on Nights At Armour Mansion and for the brilliant rooftop serenade.  Photos to come.  Happy Birthday Mihir!!!

The Beatles vs the Stones.  Oasis vs Blur. PV vs…Spencer Pratt.

Mark suggested that I check these guy out because of their new album, and its awesome name…Go download the new Phoenix album, ‘Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix’.

As the recording process comes to an end, we are excited to announce some new dates at some even newer venues (to us anyhow). 

On July 9th we will be playing the opening night at REBEL (251 W 30th St, New York City)

The show is 18+ and sure to be a wet and wild time. Thats right, for those of you who have been to our shows before, you should know what wet means, and for those of you who have not, well uh, bring a poncho. I kid.

We also recently booked a show with our favorite pseudo rocking hip hop menaces known to all as PANTS VELOUR. Che! Che! Che! This show will take place at the Blender Theater (127 E 23rd st, New York City)

A few of us saw Spoon last year at Blender Theater and from what I can hazily remember, it was an amazing show and a sick venue. (Damn you free Sparks night!)

As you can see below, we are not the only act that requires Ponchos. For a free ticket to the show, can anyone guess who is performing on stage? I will give you a hint, it is not necessarily a musician…

This is a little more like what it might look like when you see us there…

Check out our myspace for specific show times and future dates.

One final note, we will be streaming a live acoustic show, from our blog, at an undisclosed location, during one of the upcoming weeks. So be on the lookout and check back daily for more updates on that. Good day everyone.

Win Butler is a cool dude.

Before the release of In Rainbows I heard a version of Radiohead playing this song in Copenhagen.  It’s called ‘Four Minute Warning,’ a song about the public alert system used by Britain during the Cold War to give citizens four minutes of caution before Soviet nuclear missiles hit the UK.  Pretty crazy stuff.  Here’s an excerpt from the script that would have been broadcast on BBC 4 Radio in the event of an attack:

“This is the Wartime Broadcasting Service. This country has been attacked with nuclear weapons…Remember there is nothing to be gained by trying to get away. By leaving your homes you could be exposing yourselves to greater danger…Use your water only for essential drinking and cooking purposes. Water means life. Don’t waste it…We shall repeat this broadcast in two hours’ time. Stay tuned to this wavelength, but switch your radios off now to save your batteries until we come on the air again. That is the end of this broadcast.”

Aaaanyways, the song is great.  Enjoy.
